   بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

   وَٱلْمُرْسَلَٰتِ عُرْفًۭا١

   By those [winds] sent forth in gusts

   فَٱلْعَٰصِفَٰتِ عَصْفًۭا٢

   And the winds that blow violently

   وَٱلنَّٰشِرَٰتِ نَشْرًۭا٣

   And [by] the winds that spread [clouds]

   فَٱلْفَٰرِقَٰتِ فَرْقًۭا٤

   And those [angels] who bring criterion

   فَٱلْمُلْقِيَٰتِ ذِكْرًا٥

   And those [angels] who deliver a message

   عُذْرًا أَوْ نُذْرًا٦

   As justification or warning,

   إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَوَٰقِعٌۭ٧

   Indeed, what you are promised is to occur.

   فَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ طُمِسَتْ٨

   So when the stars are obliterated

   وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ فُرِجَتْ٩

   And when the heaven is opened

   وَإِذَا ٱلْجِبَالُ نُسِفَتْ١٠

   And when the mountains are blown away

   وَإِذَا ٱلرُّسُلُ أُقِّتَتْ١١

   And when the messengers' time has come...

   لِأَىِّ يَوْمٍ أُجِّلَتْ١٢

   For what Day was it postponed?

   لِيَوْمِ ٱلْفَصْلِ١٣

   For the Day of Judgement.

   وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ١٤

   And what can make you know what is the Day of Judgement?

   وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ١٥

   Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

   أَلَمْ نُهْلِكِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ١٦

   Did We not destroy the former peoples?

   ثُمَّ نُتْبِعُهُمُ ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ١٧

   Then We will follow them with the later ones.

   كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ١٨

   Thus do We deal with the criminals.

   وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ١٩

   Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

   أَلَمْ نَخْلُقكُّم مِّن مَّآءٍۢ مَّهِينٍۢ٢٠

   Did We not create you from a liquid disdained?

   فَجَعَلْنَٰهُ فِى قَرَارٍۢ مَّكِينٍ٢١

   And We placed it in a firm lodging

   إِلَىٰ قَدَرٍۢ مَّعْلُومٍۢ٢٢

   For a known extent.

   فَقَدَرْنَا فَنِعْمَ ٱلْقَٰدِرُونَ٢٣

   And We determined [it], and excellent [are We] to determine.

   وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ٢٤

   Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

   أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ ٱلْأَرْضَ كِفَاتًا٢٥

   Have We not made the earth a container

   أَحْيَآءًۭ وَأَمْوَٰتًۭا٢٦

   Of the living and the dead?

   وَجَعَلْنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِىَ شَٰمِخَٰتٍۢ وَأَسْقَيْنَٰكُم مَّآءًۭ فُرَاتًۭا٢٧

   And We placed therein lofty, firmly set mountains and have given you to drink sweet water.

   وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ٢٨

   Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

   ٱنطَلِقُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰ مَا كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ٢٩

   [They will be told], "Proceed to that which you used to deny.

   ٱنطَلِقُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰ ظِلٍّۢ ذِى ثَلَٰثِ شُعَبٍۢ٣٠

   Proceed to a shadow [of smoke] having three columns

   لَّا ظَلِيلٍۢ وَلَا يُغْنِى مِنَ ٱللَّهَبِ٣١

   [But having] no cool shade and availing not against the flame."

   إِنَّهَا تَرْمِى بِشَرَرٍۢ كَٱلْقَصْرِ٣٢

   Indeed, it throws sparks [as huge] as a fortress,

   كَأَنَّهُۥ جِمَٰلَتٌۭ صُفْرٌۭ٣٣

   As if they were yellowish [black] camels.

   وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ٣٤

   Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

   هَٰذَا يَوْمُ لَا يَنطِقُونَ٣٥

   This is a Day they will not speak,

   وَلَا يُؤْذَنُ لَهُمْ فَيَعْتَذِرُونَ٣٦

   Nor will it be permitted for them to make an excuse.

   وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ٣٧

   Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

   هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ ۖ جَمَعْنَٰكُمْ وَٱلْأَوَّلِينَ٣٨

   This is the Day of Judgement; We will have assembled you and the former peoples.

   فَإِن كَانَ لَكُمْ كَيْدٌۭ فَكِيدُونِ٣٩

   So if you have a plan, then plan against Me.

   وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ٤٠

   Woe, that Day, to the deniers.

   By the sun and its brightness

   وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَىٰهَا٢

   And [by] the moon when it follows it

   وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّىٰهَا٣

   And [by] the day when it displays it

   وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰهَا٤

   And [by] the night when it covers it

   وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنَىٰهَا٥

   And [by] the sky and He who constructed it

   وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَىٰهَا٦

   And [by] the earth and He who spread it

   وَنَفْسٍۢ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا٧

   And [by] the soul and He who proportioned it

   فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَىٰهَا٨

   And inspired it [with discernment of] its wickedness and its righteousness,

   قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا٩

   He has succeeded who purifies it,

   وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا١٠

   And he has failed who instills it [with corruption].

   كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوَىٰهَآ١١

   Thamud denied [their prophet] by reason of their transgression,

   إِذِ ٱنۢبَعَثَ أَشْقَىٰهَا١٢

   When the most wretched of them was sent forth.

   فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ نَاقَةَ ٱللَّهِ وَسُقْيَٰهَا١٣

   And the messenger of Allah [Salih] said to them, "[Do not harm] the she-camel of Allah or [prevent her from] her drink."

   فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِذَنۢبِهِمْ فَسَوَّىٰهَا١٤

   But they denied him and hamstrung her. So their Lord brought down upon them destruction for their sin and made it equal [upon all of them].

   وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَٰهَا١٥

   And He does not fear the consequence thereof.

   Read the passage · Al-Baqara 284–286

   لِّلَّهِ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ وَإِن تُبْدُوا۟ مَا فِىٓ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَوْ تُخْفُوهُ يُحَاسِبْكُم بِهِ ٱللَّهُ ۖ فَيَغْفِرُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيُعَذِّبُ مَن يَشَآءُ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ قَدِيرٌ٢٨٤

   To Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. Whether you show what is within yourselves or conceal it, Allah will bring you to account for it. Then He will forgive whom He wills and punish whom He wills, and Allah is over all things competent.

   ءَامَنَ ٱلرَّسُولُ بِمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مِن رَّبِّهِۦ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۚ كُلٌّ ءَامَنَ بِٱللَّهِ وَمَلَٰٓئِكَتِهِۦ وَكُتُبِهِۦ وَرُسُلِهِۦ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍۢ مِّن رُّسُلِهِۦ ۚ وَقَالُوا۟ سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا ۖ غُفْرَانَكَ رَبَّنَا وَإِلَيْكَ ٱلْمَصِيرُ٢٨٥

   The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and [so have] the believers. All of them have believed in Allah and His angels and His books and His messengers, [saying], "We make no distinction between any of His messengers." And they say, "We hear and we obey. [We seek] Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the [final] destination."

   لَا يُكَلِّفُ ٱللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا ۚ لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا ٱكْتَسَبَتْ ۗ رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَآ إِن نَّسِينَآ أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَآ إِصْرًۭا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُۥ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِۦ ۖ وَٱعْفُ عَنَّا وَٱغْفِرْ لَنَا وَٱرْحَمْنَآ ۚ أَنتَ مَوْلَىٰنَا فَٱنصُرْنَا عَلَى ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ٢٨٦

   Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity. It will have [the consequence of] what [good] it has gained, and it will bear [the consequence of] what [evil] it has earned. "Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred. Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us. Our Lord, and burden us not with that which we have no ability to bear. And pardon us; and forgive us; and have mercy upon us. You are our protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people."

   Read the passage · An-Nisaa 26–31

   يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ لِيُبَيِّنَ لَكُمْ وَيَهْدِيَكُمْ سُنَنَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ وَيَتُوبَ عَلَيْكُمْ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌۭ٢٦

   Allah wants to make clear to you [the lawful from the unlawful] and guide you to the [good] practices of those before you and to accept your repentance. And Allah is Knowing and Wise.

   وَٱللَّهُ يُرِيدُ أَن يَتُوبَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَيُرِيدُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَّبِعُونَ ٱلشَّهَوَٰتِ أَن تَمِيلُوا۟ مَيْلًا عَظِيمًۭا٢٧

   Allah wants to accept your repentance, but those who follow [their] passions want you to digress [into] a great deviation.

   يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ أَن يُخَفِّفَ عَنكُمْ ۚ وَخُلِقَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ ضَعِيفًۭا٢٨

   And Allah wants to lighten for you [your difficulties]; and mankind was created weak.

   يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَأْكُلُوٓا۟ أَمْوَٰلَكُم بَيْنَكُم بِٱلْبَٰطِلِ إِلَّآ أَن تَكُونَ تِجَٰرَةً عَن تَرَاضٍۢ مِّنكُمْ ۚ وَلَا تَقْتُلُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ بِكُمْ رَحِيمًۭا٢٩

   O you who have believed, do not consume one another's wealth unjustly but only [in lawful] business by mutual consent. And do not kill yourselves [or one another]. Indeed, Allah is to you ever Merciful.

   وَمَن يَفْعَلْ ذَٰلِكَ عُدْوَٰنًۭا وَظُلْمًۭا فَسَوْفَ نُصْلِيهِ نَارًۭا ۚ وَكَانَ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ يَسِيرًا٣٠

   And whoever does that in aggression and injustice - then We will drive him into a Fire. And that, for Allah, is [always] easy.

   إِن تَجْتَنِبُوا۟ كَبَآئِرَ مَا تُنْهَوْنَ عَنْهُ نُكَفِّرْ عَنكُمْ سَيِّـَٔاتِكُمْ وَنُدْخِلْكُم مُّدْخَلًۭا كَرِيمًۭا٣١

   If you avoid the major sins which you are forbidden, We will remove from you your lesser sins and admit you to a noble entrance [into Paradise].
